Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to closures for containers, and more specifically to closures for beverage containers.
  • bottle closures exist for glass and plastic bottles.
  • One type of bottle closure is a metal cap, which is crimped onto the top of a glass bottle and requires a bottle opener to remove it.
  • Another type of bottle closure is a cap that screws onto the neck of a bottle. Generally, these bottle caps seal the opening of a bottle by coming into contact with the top of the bottle neck and covering the opening of the bottle.
  • Some screw-on closures may also include a detachable tamper-evident ring. The above-mentioned bottle closures may be single use or reusable.
  • US 3 315 830 A relates to a cap or closure for containers, wherein the cap comprises a multi-part outer cap and an inner part constituted of thermosetting plastic or urea plastic.

  • the container 300 may be made of any suitable material for containing a beverage, including glass or plastic.
  • the inside of the container 300 may be at a higher pressure than the outside of the container 300. This may cause portions of the container 300 and/or cap 200 to bulge.
  • One portion that may bulge 222 is the cap 200.
  • the spacing wall 122 may allow for the cap to bulge.
  • the spacing wall 122 may engage one or more outer portions 224 of the cap 200. This may advantageously allow the center portion 226 of the cap 200 to bulge upwards such that cap 200 may not touch the inner surface 104 of the top wall 102.
  • references herein to "some embodiments,” “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “an example embodiment,” or similar phrases indicate that the embodiment described may include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic, but every embodiment may not necessarily include the particular feature, structure, or characteristic.
